my car doesn't start but headlight work... battery?

alternator or starter, check the spark plugs too

Your battery is to dead to turn over the engine charge or jump your car battery and it should start up no problem...some times when the battery is almost dead the lights will still work but just not enought juice to start the car...good luck

I forgot to turn off the headlights when I left my car this afternoon and 1 hour ago when I try to start my car again it didn't start and no indicators or interior lights worked. I turned off everything and try to start it again 5 minutes ago. Headlights and interior lights worked this time ( I don't understand why)... but the car still doesn't start... help me please

yep, it be your battery, just give it a good ole jump and she will be back in no time!

It's your battery, get a jump.

your headlights don't draw as much power as your car needs to start, so it probably is the battery, its just not fully dead, just doesn't have the juice for the start...autozone

any auto parts store will test your battery. if it isn't your battery it could be alternator or bad connection. good luck.

the battery could be weak. try jumping it, and get the battery checked. That happened to me once. the battery is not strong enough to do a full start.
